Isaayyaas 64
1 Akka tulluuwwan fuula kee duratti raafamaniif, maaloo ati utuu samiiwwan tarsaaftee gad buutee!
Oh that thou mightest rend the heavens, come down: at thy presence would mountains [then] melt away.
2 Akkuma ibiddi hanxaxii gubee, bishaan danfisu sana, akka maqaan kee diinota kee biratti beekamuuf gad buʼiitii akka saboonni fuula kee duratti hollatan godhi!
As fire is kindled on brushwood, as water is made to bubble up by fire—to make thy name known to thy adversaries, that at thy presence nations might tremble!
3 Ati yeroo waan sodaachisaa nu hin yaadin hojjettetti gad buute; tulluuwwanis fuula kee duratti hollatan.
[As] when thou didst fearful deeds which we had not looked for, thou camest down, [while] at thy presence mountains melted away;
4 Si malee Waaqa warra isa abdataniif dhaabatu, bara duriitii jalqabee namni tokko iyyuu hin dhageenye; yookaan gurri tokko iyyuu hin qalbeeffanne; iji tokko iyyuu hin argine.
Yea! what from the beginning of the world men had not heard, not perceived by their hearing; no eye [also] had seen a god beside thee, who could do [the like] for the one that waiteth for him.
5 Ati warra gammachuudhaan waan tolaa hojjetan kanneen karaa kee yaadatan gargaaruuf ni dhufta. Garuu yommuu nu ittuma fufnee cubbuu hojjennetti ati ni dheekkamte. Yoos nu akkamitti fayyuu dandeenya ree?
Thou acceptest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wast wroth, for we had sinned on them continually; and can we thus be saved?
6 Hundi keenya akka nama qulqullina hin qabnee taaneerra; hojiin qajeelummaa keenyaa hundis akka huccuu xuraaʼummaa ti; hundi keenya akkuma baalaa coollagne; cubbuun keenyas akkuma bubbee haxaaʼee nu fudhate.
And we are become like an unclean man all of us, and like a soiled garment, all our righteousness; and we wither like a leaf all of us; and our iniquities, like the wind, will bear us away.
7 Namni maqaa kee waammatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; yookaan namni si qabachuuf carraaqu hin jiru; ati fuula kee nu dhokfattee sababii cubbuu keenyaatiifis nu fixxeertaatii.
And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth himself up to lay hold of thee; for thou hast hidden thy face from us, and hast let us melt away, through the force of our iniquities.
8 Taʼus yaa Waaqayyo, ati Abbaa keenya. Nu suphee dha; ati immoo dhooftuu suphee ti; hundi keenya hojii harka keetii ti.
But now, O Lord, our father art thou; we are the clay, and thou our fashioner; and the work of thy hand are we all.
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati akka malee hin dheekkamin; cubbuu keenyas bara baraan hin yaadatin. Maaloo si kadhannaa, fuula kee nuuf deebisi; nu hundinuu saba keetii.
Be not wroth, O Lord, so very greatly, and do not for ever remember [our] iniquity: behold, look, we beseech thee, thy people are we all.
10 Magaalaawwan kee qulqulloonni onaniiru; Xiyoon iyyuu onteerti; Yerusaalemis duwwaa hafteerti.
Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem, a desolate place.
11 Manni qulqullummaa keenya qulqullichii fi ulfina qabeessi, iddoon abbootiin keenya itti si galateeffatan sun ibiddaan gubameera; wanni nu itti gammannu hundis barbadeeffameera.
Our holy and beautiful house where our fathers praised thee, is burnt up with fire; and all our costly things are become ruins.
12 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati wantoota kanneen hunda calʼuma jettee ilaaltaa? Ati calʼistee akka malee nu adabdaa?
Wilt thou for these things refrain thyself, O Lord? wilt thou be silent, and afflict us so very greatly?
